Create Custom Keyboard Shortcuts for Windows 7 Applications

The Windows 7 operating system allows users to create custom keyboard shortcuts to applications. Users may find this feature convenient because it allows them to access applications that are frequently used. Instead of looking for the shortcut or the link to the application, it can be accessed through a set of user-defined hot keys.
